HC Deb 27 March 2001 vol 365 c598W
Dr. Lynne Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people who are currently serving a prison sentence(a) have undergone some part of the gender reassignment process, (b) are undergoing treatment for gender reassignment and (c) have requested an assessment for gender reassignment. [155267]

Mr. Boateng

Information is not routinely collected centrally on the number of prisoners with gender dysphoria, or who are receiving treatment for that condition in prison. However, 16 cases of prisoners needing assessment, care or treatment for gender dysphoria have been drawn to the attention of Prison Service Headquarters in recent years.
